I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father

Chapter 39: Wait! We are going to the Lin’s?! (2)

After Lin Xi had returned to her room, the pondering look on Gu Shao deepened.

Gu Shao dialed Wang Wu.

Sir?

Lin Xi was sent to the village before?

Thats correct. Wang Wu recalled. But it didnt seem she stay there for very long.

Go look into it. I want to find out what happened when she was there and when she was at the Lins. I want more details than we previously had. Gu Shao did not miss the fear and panic that flashed past Lin Xis eyes when he mentioned going to the Lins.

There was no reason why she would have such a strong reaction if her days were just difficult back at the Lins.

Besides, from the few days that they had been together, Gu Shao could tell that Lin Xi wasnt a spoiled brat or one that couldnt handle any adversity. Quite the contrary, she was a child who was very good at controlling her emotions. As such, if the days were just difficult, she would not have come to look for a father that she knew nothing about.

Wang Wu, upon hearing Gu Shaos order, immediately realized something: What they had found out previously was not comprehensive.

Okay, I get it. I will have someone look into that right away, said Wang Wu solemnly.

Gu Shao called up Xu Fei next.

What do I have going on tomorrow? asked Gu Shao.

Tomorrow? Xu Fei flipped through his calendar and replied, You have a meeting to talk about the SSI project tomorrow morning and the team from Willr will be visiting tomorrow afternoon. In addition, we have received two invitations for some activities.

Xu Fei, Thats pretty much it.

Move the meeting to the week after and have someone else meet with the team from Willr. Decline the two activities and free up my calendar, said Gu Shao.

For the entire day? Xu Fei was just about to ask what important thing was Gu Shao going to be attending to when Gu Shao spoke again.

In addition, notify the family of the president of the Lin Corporation. I will be paying them a visit tomorrow.

Sure, Boss. Xu Fei didnt have enough time to think about which Lin family he was talking about so he just said yes.

Xu Fei finally realized after he had ended the phone conversation that the Lin Corporation, Lin family, wasnt that Xiao Xis birth mothers family they were talking about?

Lin Xi noticed, to her surprised, that Gu Shao was still home when she got up the next morning.

She had a bad feeling.

Good morning, Dad. Lin Xi put on a smile anyway and greeted Gu Shao. This had already become part of her daily routine.

Arent you going to head into NTN Technology Center today, Dad? Lin Xi paused, then added, Or the school?

Gu Shao looked away from the book in his hand and looked at Lin Xi. Lets have breakfast first. Then we will head to the Lins place together.

Lin Xi, ! ! !

So, when Gu Shao remained silent yesterday, he wasnt consenting to what she had said but had his mind made instead?

That really wont be necessary. She could go by herself.

Lin Xi wanted to object some more but, when she saw the determined look in Gu Shao, she gave in immediately.

She nodded and sat down at the dining table and had her breakfast quietly.

Seeing the disturbed look on Lin Xi, Aunty Mei thought she was worried about returning to her old place. She comforted her softly, Dont worry, Xiao Xi, your Dad will go with you. He will have everything taken care of.

Having said that, Aunty Mei even picked out an outfit for Lin Xi specifically for her trip.

One could tell just with their naked eyes that this was probably the most expensive set among all of her clothes. It was not cheap.

Is this a bit too high-key? said Lin Xi in a low voice when she saw the outfit.

Why did she feel that she was there to show off and stir up stuff at the Lins in this outfit?

No, not at all. You should dress up nicely and let your birth mother and adoptive father see that you are fine over here. They will be more reassured for you to live with Mr. Gu that way. What Aunty Mei said almost sounded reasonable.

Her real thought was: That family had treated Xiao Xi poorly. We should let them see how nice Xiao Xis days had been since she had come over here.

They may not think much of little Miss Xi over there but, over at the Gus, she was treasured!

Lin Xi did not opine on Aunty Meis argument but she did not decline her kind thoughts either.
